Chapitre 1080: Chapter 1080: Not a Hint of Rumor Leaked

After his father came out from the magistrate's residence, he hadn't spoken a word, and must have been extremely angry in his heart.

If someone were to complain to his ear at this time, it's very possible that in a fit of rage, his father could throw out their entire family.

Therefore, he quickly dragged his wife to a corner to hide away.

"Why are you covering my mouth, have I said something wrong? It's all because of your father's rotten idea, and look at us now, trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice!" Madam Zhou raised her hand and forcefully swatted away her husband's hand.
